JJ Watt Tells Demeco Ryans He'd Unretire If Needed

[Mr KLC]

"I'm a very fortunate, lucky man, I have a beautiful wife, I have a beautiful son. I've had 12 great years in this league and I'm very thankful to have walked away healthy and playing great," he told reporters. "I told DeMeco [Ryans] last year: 'Don't call unless you absolutely need it, but, if you ever do call, I'll be there.' And he knows not to call unless he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I'll tell him that, because I'm not going to keep training [the way] I've been training."

"He knows he ever truly does need it, I'll be there for him," Watt said. "But I don't anticipate that happening, because they have a very good crew. I hope that everybody stays extremely healthy and they dominate and they don't need any bodies, and I just get to watch and enjoy it from the couch."

I say to bring him in anyway. Even if it's as a backup, he'd be like an extra coach out there.

Basically every star player says this after retirement

For sure, KLC. I've watched him on McAfee. He still has an itch to play.

Only asterisk = the training. He used to be a Workout Warrior. Has cut way back on that.

Front runner. Wouldn’t be saying this if they weren’t very good. Time for him to retire and shut his mouth.
